Console: Improved Thruster
passive bonus to flight speed and turn rate
This console improves your thrusters ability to gimble giving you the ability to do special maneuvers

Some of this might be a little too overpower for a fed raider but it would be nice to see get the T6 update

    Frankly I don't see why it couldn't be done, why it won't is likely because Radiers tend to sell poorly to feds according to the Holy Metrics.

    That said, it wouldn't need to be a fed only release, they could pair it with the Hos'us BoP which is in the TRIBBLE end of the KDF flagship like the Aquarius is for the Oddy, though id swap the boff stations for a Hos'us to be cmdr, ltcmdr, 3xlt, (all universal as is the BoP way) in order to differentiate it from the T6 Kor BoP.

    Console might be a little over the top, it would effectively give the ship pilot maneuvers if I read it right.

    Mastery, depending on the value of the increase i could see it working and it might even make it a trait people just buy the ship to get which might help boost sales to justify it in the first place.

    Course then they'd need to make a Rommie ship to sell it as a three pack of course.

    Well "fed raiders" sold poorly because it's still is a huge pain in the TRIBBLE to actually get the Aquarius. 200k FC for a medicore ship that's stuck on T5 or 4 FSM +20k FC +Upgrade for a medicore ship, as character only unlocks.
    Also keep in mind that the Aquarius wasn't always a raider, for years it was just a very subpar escort which faded into oblivion until it was finally upgraded to a raider with flanking, ability to slot the cloak (from another ship), etc.

    As for the 3 pack idea and it's rom ship, it would either be a T6 Dhelan or Ha'feh since those two and the Ha'nom are the only rom ships left which didn't get a T6 version.

    Fed radiers selling poorly is the same reason science ships sell poorly for klingons nd romulans, and they use the same logic to avoid making more of them. It just happens to be even more scarce for feds... which is unusual actually.

    And they wouldn't have to use an existing romulan ship, though the Dhelen could work in theory (its more small-escort-like afterall) they could always make something new that fits the characteristics the aquarius and Hos'us share.

    The T6 Aquirus is the Callisto, not the Pisces, the Jupiter launches them. There is no playable verison yet.
